HPS
Hollow Polyfused
Sandwich Construction
HPF is a revolutionary process using state of the art board
building materials which eliminates the need for an EPS core. Using a combination of glass, carbon
fiber resin, and a thin layer of foam, these materials are literally fused
together creating a hollow, stiff
and durable, lightweight shell.
The construction process consists of a unique
layering of materials throughout the board, reinforcing specific areas with
denser glass and Carbon Fiber.
What is truly unique and proprietary to Slingshot is the heat and
pressurized molding process. This
process literally fuses the materials together to create an entirely new
compound that allows or a stronger, lighter, hollow board. Proudly built
in our factory in the USA.
